I am constantly looking for ways to help others in any captivity i can having been through the effects that Anxiety can have on our lives and how it effects our relationships and how we are perceived by others and our ability to recognize, the impact this plays upon our thoughts and interpretations of how we feel about other peoples understandings of this debilitating illness, how this leads so easily into areas such as Depression. I'm currently studying to be a counselor and this had had a great impact upon my understanding of how our thoughts impact our feelings through many of the therapeutic models, im studying in a theory and practical nature to give me greater self awareness of my own reactions and feelings to deal with anxiety i am feeling and how i can help others in my own journey of discovery.

Jofrances, you are most welcome here and your skills as a counselor will be much valued. We are a diverse collection of anxiety sufferers, some new to it and some anxiety veterens of up to 40 years. We try to encourage and support each other and share our experiences and knowledge but we always urge newcomers to seek the help of their doctor to be sure their symptoms are anxiety and not physical illness, and we urge people to work closely with doctors and therapists.
Many of us have a high regard for the teachings of the late Doctor Claire Weekes as expressed in her first book 'Self help for your nerves', her Acceptance method has brough relief and recovery to many here and elsewhere. Thank you for joining us.
